That was in May this year. A Todd McFarlane themed party. I have heaps more photos of me at various costume parties, but I'll have to dig them out and scan them later on, as they were mostly before I had a digital camera. Watch this space!

I was Starbuck (Kara Thrace) from Battlestar Galactica, because I'm a humongous geek. I was trying to be in character in that picture, but I didn't have a cigar and someone was trying to make me laugh.. Boo :P

When I was at the costume store (a locally owned one), the owner got a call - someone asking for a Santa Claus outfit. She said they had them, but they were in storage and it didn't make sense to keep them out on the floor during Halloween because they'd maybe sell 1... and no, she couldn't get a costume out of storage because she had way too many projects going on.

She was kind of a bitch about it, actually. Even if her points made sense.

Pear - there are all sorts of really easy costumes. At the club I went to, one woman was dressed in normal cloths with a sign hung around her neck that said something like,
"Sweater vest: $79
Blouse: $58
(and so on - for each article of clothing)
Putting almost no effort into a Halloween costume: Priceless."
